Create a new Windows Application with the wizard. Delete Form1 from the code. Remove the code in Program.cs starting up the Form1. Use the NotifyIcon class to create your system tray icon (assign an icon to it). Add a contextmenu to it. Or react to NotifyIcon's mouseclick and differenciate between Right and Left click, setting your contextmenu and showing it for which ever button (right/left) was pressed. Application.Run() to keep the app running with Application.Exit() to quit. Or a bool bRunning = true; while(bRunning){Application.DoEvents(); Thread.Sleep(10);}. Then set bRunning = false; to exit the app.

I've wrote a traybar app with .NET 1.1 and I didn't need a form. First of all, set the startup object of the project as a Sub Main, defined in a module. Then create programmatically the components: the NotifyIcon and ContextMenu. Be sure to include a MenuItem "Quit" or similar. Bind the ContextMenu to the NotifyIcon. Invoke Application.Run(). In the event handler for the Quit MenuItem be sure to call set NotifyIcon.Visible = False, then Application.Exit(). Add what you need to the ContextMenu and handle properly :)

据我所知，您仍然必须使用表单编写应用程序，但在表单上没有控件，并且永远不会将其设置为可见。使用NotifyIcon(可以在这里找到它的MSDN示例)来编写应用程序。

下面是我如何用Visual Studio 2010， .NET 4做到的

Create a Windows Forms Application, set 'Make single instance application' in properties Add a ContextMenuStrip Add some entries to the context menu strip, double click on them to get the handlers, for example, 'exit' (double click) -> handler -> me.Close() Add a NotifyIcon, in the designer set contextMenuStrip to the one you just created, pick an icon (you can find some in the VisualStudio folder under 'common7...') Set properties for the form in the designer: FormBorderStyle:none, ShowIcon:false, ShowInTaskbar:false, Opacity:0%, WindowState:Minimized Add Me.Visible=false at the end of Form1_Load, this will hide the icon when using Ctrl + Tab Run and adjust as needed.

“系统托盘”应用程序只是一个普通的win表单应用程序，唯一的区别是它在windows系统托盘区域创建了一个图标。为了创建sys。托盘图标使用NotifyIcon组件，你可以在工具箱(常用控件)中找到它，并修改它的属性:图标，工具提示。它还允许您处理鼠标单击和双击消息。

还有一件事，为了实现外观和感觉或标准托盘应用程序。添加followinf行在你的主窗体显示事件:

private void MainForm_Shown(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    WindowState = FormWindowState.Minimized;
    Hide();
} 

您可以创建表单，修改它，然后将它传递给应用程序。作为参数运行。：

    internal static class Program
    {
        /// <summary>
        ///  The main entry point for the application.
        /// </summary>
        [STAThread]
        static void Main()
        {
            ApplicationConfiguration.Initialize();
            var form = new Form1();
            form.Hide();
            form.Opacity = 0;
            form.ShowInTaskbar = false;
            Application.Run(form);
        }
    }

添加你的通知图标和上下文菜单(如果需要)到你的表单在设计时作为一个常规的应用程序。确保你的通知图标是可见的，并有一个相关的图标。这还将允许您使用以后可能出于任何原因需要的表单
